Yeah, new tech. The old tubes is not the solution. There's multiple things that could be going on. All the electrical components should be checked for shorts, bad connections, bad components etc...

I changed the HT fuse and now the head works. I hope the fuse blown is due to that guy that unplugged the amp while the tubes were hot. Anyways I will change the tubes asap, with jj's this time, so I am sure they will fit

I've once blown a fuse with good valves in my AD15 when the valve heater circuit failed. A sudden rupture in the current supply can cause the this to happen, but it is unlikely.

I hope this is it for you, it's a horrible feeling taking your amp out not knowing if you'll be able to finish the 1St song......

I hope so, I will see what happens these days. Hopefully it won't be "tech-time" anymore, since I have already spend the equal of two good pedals for nothing
